You are a lighthouse.
There's something about that that makes total sense to me.

Osaka
JAPAN.
I lived in Japan for a year and miss it a lot. I was in Ogaki, Gifu-ken. I think Tokyo is the kid of city that I'd love to bullet train to frequently, but for living, I'd prefer Osaka. It's as close to Kyoto as Manhattan is from Brooklyn, and it's slightly warmer (like Washington DC). I've actually soaked up more of the Japanese media culture since I left...when I was there I listened to my old music to remind me of home. Now I watch movies and listen to music that reminds me of my time there. Plus, airfare from Japan to any number of amazing SE Asian destinations is just as cheap as flying around the states here. You can go to Singapore for $400.
I love New York and am very happy calling this my home.

It used to be Charleston, SC. Last summer I said screw it & moved here. Just 1 regret.... I didn't move here sooner.

I'm thinking Berlin. Or maybe a small cottage in the English countryside (with a recording studio in the basement of course.)

European cities that come to mind
Valencia - I think it's number one.
After that, maybe Strasbourg or some small little village in the Alps.
With a recording studio in the basement, all the way!!!

living with robert plant, hmmmMMMMMmmm...
Not if he's got that black dog with him barking all night.
*bad joke*
All your posts seem to suggest quiet lives in peaceful areas. I live in a remote village in Ireland and it's the pits for me. Not suitable for someone my age but I'm about to take to the extreme when I move to Toronto this summer. I've never lived in a city before or stayed in one for more than a day.
Wish me luck! :S

Good Luck
I've only been to Toronto twice but I think it's a pretty nice transition from country to city. The people seemed quite nice and I thought it was very clean.
I grew up in a midwestern suburb. I had some great friends and good times but in the end found it very boring. I still love living in New York and I don't plan on moving away soon. But as I get older I find the ever rising cost of living combined with the seemingly constant influx and recycling of people and establishments a bit ehausting. It's a great town for energy and inspiration. It's a tough town for establishing roots.

My guess is
plenty of musicians picking quiet secluded places to live also would like to tour regularly--which would probably mean visiting major cities and not much privacy.
When you include that factor it makes a lot of sense.

well the original question was
anywhere but where you live now. Many of us already live in cities, so this would be a change. Really Im in no mood to leave NY.
In a lighthouse.
